 (1 Customer Review)
Riot, Riot, Upstart is a 1999 album in the classic early-'80s Agnostic Front style: full-on, straight-ahead, adrenaline-driven hardcore. It may not be anything new, but it is refreshing in the late '90s to hear the genre's roots still being adhered to, and the lack of glossy overproduction is another plus. Agnostic Front's political concerns and righteous anger are still very much intact, and while it's a shame that there aren't many new voices popping up to address these concerns, it's nice to still have veterans who know exactly what they're talking about. ~ Steve Huey

Riot, Riot, Upstart
$9.89
By the time of this, their third release for Epitaph Records, Agnostic Front was entering their third decade together. It's more than impressive for a punk outfit to last so long -- it's nearly a miracle. Not quite a miraculous collection, Dead Yuppies lacks the immediacy of Agnostic Front's best work. There are enough good moments, however, to outshine the many Generation-X upstarts and also-rans. At first glance, Dead Yuppies projects the image of an Agnostic Front who's living in the past. The choruses are familiar, and even the term "yuppie" sounds a little dated. In the days of this release, it was the high-tech professionals and dot-bomb dreamers rubbing all the underground class warriors the wrong way. So the names might have changed, but that didn't concern ...
| | Hot Burritos! The Flying Burrito Brothers Anthology 1969-1972 CDs (2000)
Riot, Riot, Upstart
$15.09
Includes liner notes by Chris Hillman and Holly George-Warren.
Digitally remastered by Jim Phillips (Universal Mastering Studios West, North Hollywood, California).
Founded by ex-Byrds Gram Parsons and Chris Hillman, the Flying Burrito Brothers cultivated the country-rock sound originated by that duo's former band into a major movement whose reverberations are still felt to this day. Defined by Parsons as "a Southern soul group playing country and gospel-oriented music with a steel guitar," the Burritos produced a brand of "cosmic country" that included songs about avoiding the draft ("My Uncle"), innocence lost ("Sin City") and a fast-living femme fatale ("Christine's Tune").
The Burritos also translated their considerable creative talents into covering songs by a diverse array of artists including Aretha Franklin ("Do Right Woman"), Buck Owens ("Close Up The Honky ...
| | Illuminati: Pastels Music Remixed CD (1997)
Riot, Riot, Upstart
$13.05
On paper, Illuminati looks like it would be an amazing collection of remixes. With 15 assorted artists remixing twelve different songs by The Pastels, one would think there'd be a great deal of variation between the remixes, especially considering the talent of the remixers. But Illuminati ultimately falls a bit flat, as artists as diverse as My Bloody Valentine, Cornelius, Stereolab, To Rococo Rot, Future Pilot AKA, and Jim O'Rourke, among others, mostly play things too close to the vest. The result is that the tracks sound remarkably similar, and, for the most part, like white-washed versions of the original songs. It doesn't help that three songs make multiple appearances in various forms. Some tracks end up working no better than aural wallpaper. My Bloody Valentine, which makes two appearances, seems to be the chief influence of most of the other remixers; the first remix is too short to leave much of an impression, so ardent fans won't be as happy as they expected to be upon finding out that two new My Bloody Valentine creations are included. The best moments come from Cornelius, Future Pilot AKA, John McEntire, and Ian Carmichael. The Cornelius remix of "Windy Hill" is as interesting and exciting as anything from his Fantasma album; it's pretty, touching, and accomplished. Ian Carmichael turns The Viaduct into an even more gentle, stop-start ballad, full of interesting sounds and sweeping, sampled guitars. Future Pilot AKA's additional work on "Rough Riders" adds more to the original song than most of the other remixers combined; the song winds up sounding like a frazzled, joyous play on the original. John McEntire's remix of "Remote Climbs" is more mature and interesting than most of the work he's done with Tortoise; it's clear that he respected the original version, while still setting out to make a near-symphonic, electronic reworking. Too many artists simply distill the Pastels' light sounds without crafting anything compelling in the process. Either they were pressed for time or inspiration, or they just wanted to have their names printed along side the other remixers; the lesser tracks mostly just sample instrumental moments in a cut and paste fashion. Stereolab appear to be doing a Cornelius impersonation and not succeeding. My Bloody Valentine adds atmospheric elements to "Cycle," but the remix is nowhere near the caliber of anything on Loveless. Jim O'Rourke unleashes an army of inappropriate, misguided strings on his remix of "Leaving This Island." Illuminati works in small doses; it's not an album that asks to be repeated as a whole. Since ...
| | Age Of Ruin Tides Of Tragedy CD (2004)
Riot, Riot, Upstart
$12.15 
With so little quality melodic death metal to go round on U.S. shores, one can't help but want to pull for Washington, D.C.'s Age of Ruin, whose year 2000 debut album, Black Sands of the Hourglass, put a welcome American face on the well-loved Gothenburg sound. However, much has changed in the band's situation (not least a large amount of personnel turnover) during the intervening years leading up to their second release, 2004's long-awaited The Tides of Tragedy. Primarily, it appears that the arrival of new vocalist Ben Swan has added a heavy dosage of hardcore to the group's musical mix, resulting ...
